[csw-maintainers] License for makefiles and other packages component

I won't disagree with this, since I'm ok with it, but I think a build
description can be considered separate from mGar itself (even though
we house them together in the same svn repo, etc).  To me, mGar is a
DSL built on top of a DSL.  Each build description is the equivalent
of a small C program and mGar is the equivalent of libc.  Neither is
useful on it's own, but not necessarily all part of the same thing,
either.

Just my 2 cents for the evening.  I really am ok with this if we want
to blanket license (for simplicity or sanity or whatever) all
descriptions under the same license as mGar itself (GPLv2).

Thanks
